Procedures for complying with the documentation of thecomponent repair program are covered in OPNAVInstruction 4790.2 (NAMP).Repair requirements for organically repairedaeronautical components under the cognizance ofNAVICP-Phil are managed under two programs. Theyare the level schedule program and the B08 cyclicrepairable management program. Repairablecomponents may be selected for the level scheduleprogram based on the history of high volume of systemdemands and annual rework expenditures. The balanceof organically repaired 7R and 6K COG components ismanaged under the B08 program.B08 Cyclic Repairable Management programRepair requirements for B08 items are computedweekly on a family basis and stratified into four distincturgency-of-need levels. The levels of need are outlinedin FASO Instruction 4440.98. The B08 programidentifies a deficit of RFI items to the computedrequirement and identifies this as a productionrequirement. The actual induction quantity that will beused to support this requirement is constrained byfactors such as DRP capability, availability of NRFIitems to be repaired, and the DRP capacity.Level Scheduling ProgramLevel scheduling is similar to the B08 programexcept that the items covered under level scheduling aremanually negotiated on a semiannual basis. Thisprogram sets the production levels at the naval aviationdepots (NADEPs) for those items that are at criticalstocking levels.Foreign Object Damage (FOD) ProgramFOD is damage to aeronautical equipment causedby an external object. Some examples of FOD are theingestion of hardware or tools by a jet engine and tirescut by debris on the ramp, taxiway, or runway.FOD to aircraft, engines, support equipment, andother aeronautical equipment is a costly problem, theimportance of which cannot be overstated. FODpresents personnel and material hazards, consumesvaluable maintenance man-hours, imposes additionalunscheduled workloads on both using and supportingactivities, creates shortages, wastes dollars, and reducesoperational readiness. A successful FOD preventionprogram depends on command support, personnelknowledge and awareness, and the degree of integrationinto the total maintenance effort. Most FOD can beattributed to poor housekeeping, facility deterioration,improper maintenance practices, or carelessness.Therefore, an effective program that identifies, corrects,and eliminates causal factors is very important.Tool Control ProgramThe tool control program provides a means torapidly account for all tools after completing amaintenance task, thus reducing the potential for FOD.A valuable benefit to this program is reduced tool loss,which reduces tool replacement costs.The primary objective of the tool control programis to improve flight safety by eliminating aircraftaccidents, incidents, and associated equipment damagecaused by lost or misplaced tools. Secondary objectivesinclude the reduction of expenditures for additionaloutfitting and replacement of missing, defective, orpilfered tools; the reduction of man-hours formaintenance task completion; and a generalimprovement in the quality of aviation maintenance.The tool control program must provide instantinventory capability through internally configured toolcontainers, with each tool in individually tailoredlocations designed to highlight a missing tool.The Office of the Chief of Naval Operations(OPNAV), through the aircraft controlling custodians(ACCs), is responsible for the implementation andmanagement of the tool control program. Any requestfor deviation from established instructions must beaddressed to the cognizant ACC via the chain ofcommand. The material control officer coordinates thetool control program on the local level and is responsiblefor the procurement and issue control of all tools.Requirements for tool containers, controllingnumbers, identification by etching on each tool, andspecial accounting procedures are identified in OPNAVInstruction 4790.2 (NAMP).Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)Control/Prevention ProgramThe ESD Program is the transfer of electrostaticcharge between bodies at different electrostaticpotentials caused by direct contact or induced by artelectrostatic field. All areas where ESD items arehandled, including supply storage areas andmaintenance/production work centers, must have ESDsafe areas.4-6
